AAX Plugin category?

[resonant]

Hello
I've made & exported some AAX fx plugins in HISE.
But All of the fx plugins goes to "Modulation" category in Pro Tools (Developer).
Can we make a special category folder for Pro Tools?

You can change the setting in the autogenerated projucer file and then compile it manually. It‘s not on my immediate todo list to add support for this in HISE.

@christoph-hart Ok, thank you so much! It works like a charm in existent Pro Tools categories!
I think we can't create a custom category that doesn't defined in AAX SDK category list.

[Christoph Hart]

Yes you‘re supposed to use one of their plugin category strings.

For anyone who wants to make multiple category listing for AAX plugins; You can use "|" for multiple categories.

For example, if you want your plugins' categories Dynamics and EQ both;

Go to "Project Settings > Plugin AAX category" section in Projucer and set this:

AAX_ePlugInCategory_Dynamics|AAX_ePlugInCategory_EQ

And also in case you want to use; these are the category types in AAX;

AAX_ePlugInCategory_None
AAX_ePlugInCategory_EQ
AAX_ePlugInCategory_Dynamics
AAX_ePlugInCategory_PitchShift
AAX_ePlugInCategory_Reverb
AAX_ePlugInCategory_Delay
AAX_ePlugInCategory_Modulation
AAX_ePlugInCategory_Harmonic
AAX_ePlugInCategory_NoiseReduction
AAX_ePlugInCategory_Dither
AAX_ePlugInCategory_SoundField
AAX_ePlugInCategory_HWGenerators
AAX_ePlugInCategory_SWGenerators
AAX_ePlugInCategory_WrappedPlugin
AAX_EPlugInCategory_Effect
